Paperback. Condition: New. An advanced introduction to Benjamin's work and its actualization for our own times.Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) has emerged as one of the leading cultural critics of the twentieth century. His work encompasses aesthetics, metaphysical language and narrative theories, German literary history, philosophies of history, the intersection of Marxism and Messianic thought, urban topography, and the development of photography and film. Benjamin defined the task of the critic as one that blasts endangered moments of the past out of the continuum of history so that they attain new significance. This volume of new essays employs this principle of actualization as its methodological program in offering a new advanced introduction to Benjamin's own work. The essays analyze Benjamin's central texts, themes, terminologies, and genres in their original contexts while simultaneously situating them in new parameters, such as contemporary media, memory culture, constructions of gender, postcoloniality, and theories of urban topographies. The Companion brings together an international group of established and emerging scholars to explicate Benjamin's actuality from a multidisciplinary perspective. Designed for audiences interested in literary criticism, cultural studies, and neighboring disciplines, the volume serves as a stimulus for new debates about Benjamin's intellectual legacy today.

Hardback. Condition: New. Kafka's interest in and use of China establish him as a principal commentator in Western discourse on the Orient.Goebel studies four representative works by Kafka that explore the problems of the Western representation of the Orient: his 'Description of a Struggle'; several letters to Felice Bauer, offering an interpretation of Chinese poetry in connection with the conflict between writing and Kafka's love for Felice; the canonical story 'The Great Wall of China', parodically appropriating sterotypes of China's stagnant history and authoritarian emperors for a refutation of colonialist ideas of progress; and the sequel 'An Old Manuscript', dramatising China's invasion by foreign powers and the breakdown of crosscultural communication. Elucidating these themes from a broadly comparative perspective, Goebel shows Kafka to be one of German modernism's most intriguing and self-reflective writers on the Orient.ROLF J.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Das Buch bietet eine Einführung in das heterogene Feld der Klangforschung in Auseinandersetzung mit zeitgenössischer Medientheorie, Literatur und Philosophie und beleuchtet die Rolle der auditiven Wahrnehmung angesichts der technischen Reproduzierbarkeit von Musik, Lärm und anderen Klangphänomenen.Unsere postmoderne, spätkapitalistische Gesellschaft treibt ihre Beschleunigung unentwegt durch die Zirkulation medial (re-)produzierter Diskurse, Bilderserien und Lautketten über geopolitische und historische Grenzen voran. In dieser Situation stellt sich die Frage nach dem Verhältnis zwischen technischen Klangmedien und der direkten und unvermittelten Erfahrung auditiver Wirklichkeit. In beiden Hörbereichen durchbricht Klang - ob in Form von Musik oder sinnlosem Lärm - die Vorherrschaft des distanziert-objektiven Sehens und die Bedeutungsangebote der verbalen Sprache, um dem Menschen im hörenden Weltverstehen eine andere Wahrheit zu eröffnen.Diese Einführung in ausgewählte Gebiete der Sound Studies erhellt ihre Themen in der Wechselbeziehung zwischen zeitgenössischer Medientheorie einerseits und konkreten Beispielen aus der Literatur- und Philosophiegeschichte andererseits. Die auf Anschaulichkeit und Verständlichkeit zielende Darstellung wendet sich nicht nur an die Fachwissenschaft, sondern will bewusst ein breites Publikum ansprechen.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 2021 Brill hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: Incompletion is an essential condition of cultural history from the oldest extant works of art, which are partially erased by time, to the most recent ones, which have yet to be finished. The idea of the fragment became particularly important to Romantic art and continued to hold relevance for various strands of modernist and contemporary aesthetics. The fourteen essays in this volume, based on the 2017 Stockholm conference of the International Association for Word and Music Studies (WMA), for the first time address incompletion in a wide range of literary and musical texts, from Baudelaire and Flaubert through Tolstoy and Henry James to Bachmann, Jelinek and Janet Frame, from Nietzsche and Chopin through Russolo and Puccini to Rihm and Kurtág. Two further essays deal with topical general issues in the field of word and music studies.
